Research Abstract |
The main purpose of this research is to develop general purpose problem solvers for various combinatorial optimization problems. Such solvers may be made possible by resorting to metaheuristic algorithms, which are recently receiving intensive attention. Based on the theoretical and experimental studies on the basic properties of metaheuristic approaches, we implemented several algorithms and conducted extensive numerical experiments on various benchmark problems as well as some problems arising from practical applications. As platforms for the general purpose problem solvers, we employed CSP (constraint satisfaction problem), GAP (generalized assignment problem), MAX-SAT (maximum satisfiability problem) and RCPSP (resource constrained project scheduling problem). These problems are quite general and can formulate many important problems which we frequently encounter in practice. Judging from our computational experiments, the metaheuristic codes we developed appear to be very useful in a wide variety of applications. Also included in this research are studies of structured problems, such as graph and network structures, scheduling problems, and nonlinear optimization structures.
